Acholi Beads
If you aren't aware of what Acholi Beads are or where they come from, watch this video to get an idea of how women from Uganda changed trades from a rough condition to something more creative. You can be a part of helping support these women from Uganda who make these beautiful colorful recycled beads by purchasing their jewelry here in the States.

To see samples of the jewelry or to buy online, go to: www.acholibeads.com . To purchase jewelry from one of our locals that sells them at local events and in our bookstore contact Jessica Van Bogelen at jvbkeys@gmail.com
